Well, the Yakuza fanbase has finally lost it. The mad lads have somehow gotten the idea that Ryu Ga Gotoku studio is set to announce a prettified, Kiwami re-do of Yakuza 3. Why? Well, uh, because Ryu Ga Gotoku studio went and wrote the words “Kiwami 3” on its website. Spotted, as ever, by enterprising…
The x86 instruction set architecture (ISA) doesn’t seem to be going anywhere. We’ve had people declaring the impending ascent of Arm or RISC-V for years now, and the market hasn’t budged. By and large, people still want to buy Intel and AMD systems running x86 Windows. So, maybe what’s needed isn’t replacement but reform, and…
We’re thrilled to show you the newest playable characters in our galaxy-spanning adventure: Black Panther and Cosmic Ghost Rider! Here at Tribute Games, we’ve always loved beat-em ups and it’s been a pleasure to work in that genre for the last couple of years. We feel extremely lucky to get to do it again in…
“SEGA’s position amounts to accusing a charity of theft”. We recently reported that Sega used the British Police to recover a selection of dev kits and consoles it had “negligently disposed of” from a business owner who resells items from office clearances. The person in question purchased the items, along with a selection of undumped…
Development of Subnautica 2 has taken a bit of a back seat in the minds of players ever since the Unknown Worlds founders’ lawsuit began. But a recent dev blog not only reveals that business has been carrying on as usual but also shows players a first look at a new kind of Leviathan coming…
If you’re hunting for a laptop with a great-feeling keyboard, good luck. I’ve tried hundreds of them at this point, and I’m usually left disappointed. YouTuber Flurples knows the feeling, it seems—but rather than crying about it, they’ve instead decided to modify their Framework 13 laptop to include not just a proper, fully-fledged mechanical keeb,…
Black Flag Remake leaks can only be called that if they come from the Montreuil suburb of Paris—otherwise they’re just sparkling Assassin’s Creed gossip. But good news: the games industry’s most open of open secrets (but that Ubi is still willing to threaten to sue its star over) has let a little more info slip…
Region-free access, region-locked perks. Since its launch in 2018, the Nintendo Switch Online (NSO) has been a lightning rod for debate among players. Fans have argued over whether its two-tier price structure constitutes good value, questioned the quality of emulation — sometimes patchy at first with certain N64 games but steadily improved — and grumbled…
I can check one worry off the list for Battlefield 6: the large maps are, in fact, pretty large. This week I played a few hours of Mirak Valley and Operation Firestorm, two maps that Battlefield Studios has been talking up as representative of Battlefield 6’s scale. Even though I’ve played dozens of hours of…
Can’t be bothered to swap your weapons to deal with different elements in Borderlands 4? Then you need to get the Rainbow Vomit. This grossly named legendary shotgun is just as disgusting in the damage department as it is in looks, in large part because it shoots three different elemental pellets at once. Like the…
